V2 to V1 Rear Subframe Swap

In my old BMW times, we can compare part # in online catalogues like 5series with 7series and see if it would be the same!
So can we here also compare a single ring+pinion part # like the 3.73 from V1 with V2?
I did not know where to look at this?

There are a variety of online GM parts databases. I checked one, and it showed the gear set for the 1st gen CTS was not used in the 2nd gen CTS; it was only used in the 1st gen CTS, SRX, and STS. It's not necessarily a definitive answer, though, as they don't even show the '08+ gear sets being available separately - you have to buy the complete diff assembly.

I'm guessing the 2nd gen V cradle (just so we're clear on which one) is the same as the 2nd gen CTS cradle, with just the drive guts being different.
AND 2nd gen CTS cradles are most likely much more prolific/easy to obtain.
BUT this is just my $.02

Sorry, I'm braindead to begin with but still don't see how you could get correct 6 lug pattern. "I found that a front wheel bearing hub from an 03 Pontiac Aztek (ironic?) will work. It's 33 spline, 5x115 bolt circle and the speed sensor is the same as ours, but needed to be re-drilled. I welded up two holes and had it drilled to 6x115". You weld or close two holes and redrill 3 more?? Which two? Thanks.

well, per quick research it looks like the V1 hubs bolt right in so i'm not entirely sure why we're making it so hard to modify a hub in order to be 6x115 when the stock ones work just fine...
both bolt circle diameters on the inside are 4.567" and 3 hole...so they bolt up. the differences are the speed/ABS sensor (V2 doesn't have it), the bolt pattern for the wheels (5x120 vs 5x115), and the studs being 14mm instead of 12mm.
